You touch on a major issue.

I’ve heard that about 80-85% of the federal budget is on automatic pilot. About 80-85% of the budget consist of :

Social Security,
Medicare,
Medicaid,
defense spending,
paying interest on the national debt.

The interest on the debt tends to keep increasing every year because the total debt keeps growing.

I did?

That happens. Like Jim on Taxi :)

Yeah man even if welfare and SNAP were done away with completely, we’d have a deficit.

Though we do need to slash those two things.

I saw SNAP cards being sold for 50 cents no the dollar.

Great for a small time grocer.

I think Trump said he won’t touch SS and medicare. I admire the integrity, but maybe he spoke too fast.
